When I logged into my account, the toolbar on the top of the screen did not appear and the Finder Application would not load causing all of my other applications to not load. (I am not on that same computer right now.) When ever I typed in Command+option+esc and clicked relaunch Finder, I would be logged off and when I tried to log in again the screen turned black and went into the Darwin BSD (or something like that) form. The other accounts on that computer seem to work and I was wondering if there was a way to fix my account using there's. Thanks in advance.

If you go into another account, open up Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder) and Repair Disk Permissions and Verify Disk to make sure there's not anything wrong with your disk.

Okay but, wouldn't that delete all of the files in my account too? (If it does I can take care of that)

It shouldn't, unless something goes wrong (which is slightly more likely in situations like this where you already know something is wrong). You might be thinking of "formating" the disk, which would. "Verifying" and "repairing" should be non-destructive.
